Author Guidelines: 10 Steps to Writing for ReviewMarine

1. Apply and get approved.
2. Read and follow these guidelines.
   Seriously, you would not believe how many writers pitch us who have clearly never read this page.
3. Take a look at the existing reviews on ReviewMarine.
   Familiarize yourself with the content you will provide. After your application is approved take a look at the Write – New Review form to see how you will submit your review.
4. Scan Available Assignments.
   Select one or more that you have experience with or… you know someone that has experience with and has access to the models on the Available Assignments list. TIP: Talk to fellow boaters and interview them on their experience with what they have installed onboard.
5. Request Assignment.
   After your application is approved use the Request Assignment form to let us know which one(s) you want to take on. Wait for email approval – We may contact you for details, specifics and some example before we approve the assignment.
6. Assignment approval.
   Please, DO NOT SUBMIT PRE-WRITTEN reviews without getting an assignment approval from us first. They will not be read or published.
7. Receiving an assignment is not a guarantee of publication.
   So remember to write the heck out of it. Look at the other reviews ReviewMarine and make yours better.
8. We pay on publication, at month-end.
   We often have a backlog of assignments and currently only use 2-4 per month, so it may take 4-6 weeks for your Review to appear. We will pay you by Paypal at the end of the month your Review appears, so make sure we have your correct Paypal email.
9. We are buying exclusive first-time and reprint publication rights.
   We reserve the right to reprint your post on other sites of ours. You may not reprint the review elsewhere.
10. Word count requirements.
    We prefer 700+ word Reviews (unless we are assigning you a specific idea from the Available Assignments list at a longer length we agree upon)
